  1. “We hope those objectives will inform the next generation of changes to United Nations peacekeeping that the Council undertakes.”

  2. “Enhancing capabilities and capacities through mobile training teams in large missions is a useful mechanism to harness available talent for specific, common objectives. Expansion of online initiatives to develop the capacities of future commanders and managers so that they lead by example and raise awareness of United Nations standards of conduct among their personnel is another innovation that can be further promoted. The best tribute that we can pay to the valiant men and women who have served the cause of peacekeeping and to the memories of those who paid the ultimate sacrifice while serving United Nations peacekeeping is to keep incentivizing change, institutionalizing best practices and placing a premium on innovation.”

  3. “In 1993, during the first spurt of peacekeeping, women made up 1 per cent of those deployed as uniformed personnel. Today the number is 6 per cent. In 26 years, we have increased the share of women by 5 per cent. At this rate, it may not be possible to meet even minimum targets. There need to be special incentives for women peacekeepers and priority deployment of all women- unit pledges. Otherwise, the targets will remain just that, targets. Thirdly, innovation in capacity-building for peacekeepers needs to be apriority if we are to move away from a culture of caveats that bedevils peacekeeping and confines it to a segmented activity. Innovative options, such as co-deployment of peacekeepers from different countries, engender a genuine spirit of partnership for peace and need to be promoted.”

  4. “It has been reflected in a number of other Council documents, for example: a presidential statement of 1996 (S/PRST/1996/13), resolution 1327 (2000), on the Brahimi report (see S/2000/809); and resolution 1353 (2001). However, in practice, we do not see effective improvement in cooperation among troop- and police-contributing countries, the Security Council and the Secretariat. It is time to move from the pursuit of individual activism by individual Member States to collective action by the Security Council to institutionalize this effort. Secondly, further incentivizing women peacekeepers is now essential. As of 31 July, women accounted for only 6 per cent ofpeacekeepers. There are 5,243 female peacekeepers out of a total of 86,687 peacekeepers.”

  5. “At present, peacekeeping is in a no-man's land, between trying to keep the peace in fragile environments and trying to enforce the maintenance of peace where there is none to keep. Responses to new security environments require a willingness to adapt abilities to meet emerging realities. In that context, we will offer three specific suggestions for the Council's consideration. First, the institutionalization of an approach whereby all key actors, especially troop-contributing countries (TCCs), are consistently and predictably engaged in the decision-making matrix has now been discussed for decades. The issue of consultations with and communications to TCCs has been in focus since the Council's presidential statement of 1994 on this matter (S/PRST/l994/22).”

  6. “United Nations peacekeeping is a unique innovation of multilateralism to respond to threats to international peace and security. As a country that has been associated with various facets of this phenomenon and contributed to its evolution, we thank you, Sir, and the Russian Federation for holding this debate and for providing us an opportunity to express our views. We also thank Under-Secretary-General Lacroix for providing the context for today's discussion. I join other speakers in conveying our deep condolences to the people and the Government of Burkina Faso, the most recent victims of terrorism. India is committed to implementing the Secretary- General's Action for Peacekeeping initiative to improve the efficiency and effectiveness ofpeacekeeping within the contours of our shared understandings.”
